Before I pull my door cards to get inside my doors, thought I'd ask the question. Can I adjust the vent window bracket (chrome part) up to close this gap without pulling everything apart? Unfortunately, Ian Karr's video came out after I had installed my doors. He shows how to loosen the nuts before installing the vent glass back into the track/new seal, but this was before installing it into the door. Thanks!

Also, not super-happy with my Targa seal install. Any advice on getting this right?

There is a screw at the top of the chrome vent wing pillar for the top cap peice. It looks like it isn't seated right. There is a countersunk phillips screw there.

In chrome pillar for the vent wing as you might know....is adjusted by a set adjusting screw at the bottom of the window track. The chrome pillar is adjusted since it also serves as the window track. It is critical that this screw is installed in the right order, otherwise it won't adjust correctly. The window track has basically IIRC..... two degrees of freedom...side to side and a few degrees forward and back controlled by the 10 MM cap screw at near the top of the door where the main inside seal is installed. Of course you have to take the door cards off to do this. When I did my car...I did the vent wings first and the Targa Seal last.

Door alignment is key to getting this assembly to work and look right. Make sure your closesure gaps are good first. BTDT.
